Isn't that the line Wambosi makes in The Bourne Identity right before he gets shot?

UPDATE: The latest Beta patch has adjusted many of the passive effects of these legendaries. The following represents the most current in-game data as of August 28/16 (many of the Wowhead tooltips have not been updated yet!)

This is one of the new legendary world drops that are coming in Legion. Some of these drops are class-specific, and others are shared between classes (or have no class requirement at all!)

At the beginning of Legion, only 1 legendary item can be equipped at a time. Over time, as the expansion progresses this cap will be increased (Source).

Here is some further information about these items:

The legendary items are intended to be used for the entire expansion. They are currently item level 895, and it remains to be seen whether this will change prior to release, or during Legion itself (for comparison, Mythic mode gear from The Emerald Nightmare is iLvl 880).

Thus far, it appears that legendaries will drop from dungeon bosses, raid bosses, PvP Strongboxes, Mythic+ Weekly Caches and World Quest Caches (rewarded after completing 4 world quests). As it stands, these will be the ONLY sources that will yield legendaries. Blizzard may expand where they can come from in the future (Source: Legion Summit Dev Interview, Video | Text Summary; June 16 Legion Live Developer Q & A, 53:30)

While the legendaries are rare drops, they are not fully random - there will be ways to target specific items (Source).

More difficult content will have a higher chance of dropping these items (Source)

It should be nearly impossible to get a duplicate legendary item. (Source: Legion Summit Dev Interview, Video | Text Summary)

Some level of bad luck streak protection also applies to legendary items (i.e. the chances of you getting a legendary will slowly increase if you don't have one drop). (Source: Legion Summit Dev Interview, Video | Text Summary)

If the slot for the item is transmoggable, you can transmog these legendaries to other appearances, and vice versa (unlike legendary items from previous expansions) (Source)

Legion legendary procs/effects will be disabled in instanced PvP (Source)

Blizzard plans to institute a "suppression aura" in effect for a certain number of weeks after Mythic raids are available, which would disable any legendary item passive effects (they would still function normally as high-ilvl regular items, with the primary/secondary stats intact). (Source)

UPDATE - As per the latest information, Legion legendaries WILL BE allowed in all raid situations, INCLUDING Mythic difficulty. The previously noted "suppression aura" in Mythic will not be implemented. (Source: Legion Summit Dev Interview, Video | Text Summary)

All legendary bonus effects are passive "Equip" effects (there are no "Use" effects on these items)All Legion legendaries are Bind-on-Pickup, and cannot be sold, traded or listed on the Auction House.

The quote is a reference to the 2002 film The Bourne Identity, which the target of a previous assassination attempt Wombosi by the main character Bourne (Matt Damon) says just before he is shot, which is references to two scenes in the film.

Unfortunately I got no videos for proof since there is no videos of those scenes on Youtube.
